(1) Field of the Invention
This invention relates to an adjusting apparatus for motor vehicle headlamps.
(2) Prior Art
In known motor vehicle headlamp adjusting apparatus (taught in DE-GM No. 71 27 862) one of the retaining parts engaging the vehicle body panel supporting the headlamp assembly is provided with additional catches and handles to permit the adjustment of the headlamp. An adjustment screw provides simple and rapid correction of the light beam for normal service of the motor vehicle when the motor vehicle is fully loaded.
In other known prior art (DE-OS No. 26 33 968), one of the retaining parts engageable in the vehicle body sheet has a concentric sleeve which is adjustable through a handle in such a way that the adjustment of the headlamp by the adjusting screw for the normal service of the motor vehicle can be corrected rapidly and simply when the motor vehicle is fully loaded.
Thus, two known adjusting apparatuses disclose simple measures for correcting the inclination of the headlamps under varying loads of a motor vehicle.
Apart from the adjustability of the headlamp in conformity with technical illumination requirements, adjustability of the headlamp in order to align its external contour with reference to the vehicle body aperture housing has been found increasing desirable in recent times. These are some of the problems this invention overcomes.
